W. lAli,qg SERF.ORTH cert given in 'Cardno's hall on Tues- day evening, Feb. 24th, The pro- gramme was of a varied character, and the audience which completely filled the hall, 'was right on its toes with excitement and pleasure from the beginning to end! The principal, Mr. 'W. 'G, Spencer, was chairman. The programme began by the. acidic- ence singing "0 Canada," with 'Mr, Bissonnette accompanying on the piano, followed by selections of bell ringing by the Marshall Clark Co. The securing of these talented artists in entertaining Was a very well. chosen part of the event. Not. unly: will it prove to Seaforth public that.. when the Collegiate announce a concert, • that they are certain of a wholesome entertainment, but if the Company should again appear in Seaforth, they arc sure of a large audience. The artistic ability of the entertainers was well 'brought dut by passed away on Monday, February 230, 1925, in the person of David Douglas Wilson, aged eighty-five years. Mr. Wilson had been living with his son Douglas in Toronto and died after a short -illness from pace- rnonia. - His 'great vitality up .to the last was the admiration of everyone, and the evident interest he showed in current events displayed the re- merka'ble keeness of his mind. The, name "D. D. Wilson" will 'always be a familiar one in the, everyday life of Seaforth—both a stttvey and a- street ,bear hisname as well as the. huge business block on the, north- west corner of Godcrich and Main streets, t He was horn in. North Dumfries, Waterloo, county, in 1839, and grad= uated from'the Galt grammar school, I being a 'pupil of the famous Dr., Tassie. He taught school for five years in the Dickie settlement in then selections on the various musi-Dumfries, but, •his eyes failing, he cal instruments, especially by the 1 moved to 'Seaforth in 1867, 'where he musical lyre and bell ringing, as well established his famous produce •busi- 1 gess, !being at one time the largest exporter of eggs in the province, shipping to all parts , of Canada, United States and the Old Country. For a time after coining .here he lived in part of the building on North Main, street recently damaged 'by fire, later building . the magnificent residence on James street occupied by Mr."W, E.'Southgate. .'He- owned the farm at present belonging to Mr, J. R. Scott, where be conducted • a model dairy business with imported stock, and the southerly' portion 'of this farrrilwas divided into town lots and 'became the D.r• D. Wilson so ri 5t r - r v ey. A number of the houses in That part were built by him. He had occupied many public of- fices including Mayor and Reeve, being the last surviving member of •Seaforth's first town council, and at the reunion last summer, he address- ed the crowd in Victoria park, at the Suuday afternoon 'gathering, with his old time vigor, telling of that first council and conditions as they were in Seaforth when he first lived, here. The town, he said, was a mud pud- dle, and you could have sailed a boat from Stephen's corner to the station, comparing it with the pres- ent fine stt'eet. There were thirteen hotels and thirteen grain buyers. About a million bushels of wheat a year cause from all directions to be disposed of. "A. really successful man," Mr. Wilson, concluded, "is a man who Ioves God. •and serves his felldw men. The matt who makes twoblades of grass 'grow where one grew before, is more successful than the man who makes millions at the expense of his fellow men,." For forty-three years he waspro- minently 'connected with the 'Sea - forth Presbyterian church, acting as Sunday school y oo superintendent, and was an elder of the first 'session when the church was established,: 'He was twice married,. his first wife being !Helen Richardson, of Dumfries, who died in•.1885, leaving a family of three sons and four daughters,. His second wife was Annie Duthie, of Tarves, Scotland, who died in 1903, leaving ,no chil- dren. The surviving members of the family are John A. Wilson,' of Seaforth; 'Mrs. • C. R. Somerville, of London; Dr. T. J. Wilson;' of Cen- tral India, and Mrs. G. R. Anderson, Mrs. A, R. Sampson and D. D. Wilson, of Toronto. A daughter, Mrs. F, 'W. Tweddle, died in 1903. Healso leaves twelve grandchildren. and two great grandchildren.

Miss Helen Me- Kereher was accompanist of the pantomirne dance, and Miss Greta ML r e mer theel others. i. .n else minuet dance Miss Asmanof the staff, also assisted on the violin. Miss Asmara is a favorite on this instrument in Sea., forth, The girls were trained by 'Misses Hartry, :lsman, Brown and Grieve, of the staff.
